Any Generators, Power Banks, Solar Panels, etc…?

Edit: So I’m gonna answer my own question. I’ll probably freak out and would have zero generators to deal with it. Heater is Gas, but I don’t know if gas would work during power outage. Cooking, well there’s a butane burner stove. I have 3 10000mah batteries, but they have 60% efficiency due to power loss during transfer, so its effectively 6000mah, enough to roughly charge my 5000mah battery once, 3 batteries is 3-4 charges. Then I’d be bored with zero entertainment, along with all the food melting and going bad, very not fun 🙃

    That’s because the best preparation is a strong knit small commune worth of people (20-100) with diverse skills, good planning and community coordination, that’s set up somewhere away from disaster prone areas with plently of arable land and abundant natural water.

    The above is way more difficult than the average American plan : one nuclear family of various ages, a shelf of canned goods, way too little water, a propane stove, and a gun.

      This is what I keep telling my family members who have fallen down the prepper rabbit hole. They keep buying the freeze dried food and bulk dry goods and water filtration things and I ask them “do you know your neighbors? Do you have a garden? Do you have your own well?”. They buy into the marketing hard but I don’t think they have any idea what it would actually be like to lose access to infrastructure.
